Keren's Nursery Belsize Park 51 Belsize Square, London NW3 4HX

"When looking for a nursery for our son, my wife and I set the following objectives we were not keen to compromise before taking a decision. Keren’s Belsize came out first in our screening and we went for it. Below I describe how things went over the last 2 years with them. 1/ SAFETY Keren’s Belsize is a very safe place, where safety of children is always put first. 2/ WELLBEING Kere’s Belsize is going the very extra mile for what concerns the wellbeing of children. They are hugely focus on: - Food: healthy and diversified - Life outside, in the garden and in the forest school 3/ PRECISE and WELL-DEFINED ROUTINE Daily routine is perfectly arranged. Each time slot is carefully crafted to always engage the children in a fine balance between intellectual challenge, play and quieter sessions. 4/ INTELLECTUAL ENGAGEMENT Each day the routine arranged by the staff and leadership offer a gentle but resilient intellectual challenge for the children 5/ TEACHERS Teachers are always offering a smile to the children, they are entirely focused on them and their protection / advancement. The unique and peculiar thing we found was the empathy of the teachers that creates a pretty unique happy, bright environment for the pupils. 6/ DIRECTION The nursery has a clear direction. It comes from the leadership and it is filtering through each member of the staff: there is a sense of purpose and ownership that leaves no room for sloppiness and lack of attention 7/ due to Covid days and having grandparents/relatives in Italy, our son was exposed to social interactions that were limited in numbers before starting at nursery. He was shy and cautious at first. Now he is simply running to it every morning. Literally running. It feels just so good knowing that our son is running to a school with a huge smile in his face and shouting “common daddy we are late, my friends are already there, come on old man""

"We love Keren’s. The nursery has a wonderful vibe, I know the kids are very well looked after, fed healthy food, etc. But more than that, the whole staff really goes above and beyond to foster a great environment for the kids, with special programs and trips that are stimulating and fun and educational. Very happy about our choice."
